Regarding Development

Recommended Posts

I think there is around 200 active subscriptions. That means 4000 USD / month, minus server and payment costs, there is not so much left for paying any more developer. I think there is only 2 people making this game mainly, and playerbase won't be much higher than now, because people are constantly leaving and coming, so I do not expect more frequent updates in the future.

This point is both right and wrong.

 

If people come and go then, well is going to dry sooner or later. People need reason to stay. As of the moment except for community there's not much of it. And it will sink deeper in time. Only question how long till it does?

We need updates like in March, every month should look like March. I am demanding? Maybe, but I am still here which I cant say of at least 50 to 80 people I met here and they moved month later because of

"nothing to do / no content"

 

If they invest into game and do major updates. They will give people reason to stay and will attract more people as well. Every other competitor look worse, that's this game strong point. Use it while you can or other games comes along and steal those few subs that are still here and try to be loyal.

 

You can market this game on every porn website all you want but people will try month and move on if there's no content.

Regular updates and marketing are both key to sucess. Hire few developers invest few $$$$ and with proper marketing you will get it back in no time. Do nothing and game will sink more and more and it will dry. 

 

I  purchased total of 10 months and I have no idea how much more I spent on gold but I know many more who spent much more. We want to stay and see game bloom and not fall deep into grave.

That is this topic all about.

 

Playerbase is willing there are many that would help with content or translation if communication is problem. Just ask I know many people who are willing to help but we can't develop game in your place. ;)

Thankyou for writing this D1- I'm so glad you managed to articulate my thoughts so much better than I can. But it rings so very, very true- and it's exactly how I feel. It feels to me that the devs seem to have lost interest in the project, and are getting tired. If that's the case, they really do need to think about employing more people. 

 

Sadly, though- I have pessimistic thoughts for the outcome of all of this.

This is not a criticism of the players who buy Xgold, but to be honest, I think every time you purchase gold, you put money in the devs pockets for which they didn't have to do anything. And that is why this game is stagnating. As long as the devs can make money without providing new content, this game will rot.

 

That is why I think that Xgold is the best example of the disconnect between the devs and the players.

 

I have said it before, but I am willing to pay for new content, and I think a lot of other people would be, too.

 

If there were five new articles of clothing or accessories every month, I would be glad to pay 500 Xgold for the ones I wanted to wear.

 

If there were new furniture items or a new map every month, I would be glad to pay 500 Xgold for the ones I like. 

 

I have no problem with a system where you pay a monthly fee for access to basic maps with a basic selection of clothes, and then pay with Xgold for other items that you like. There are dozens of other games just like this and many of them have excellent features even though they lack the high quality adult content of 3DX.

 

Do your homework, Devs! The answers are out there. :P

We are complaining about the rarity of content for the monthly fee we are paying and you are here suggesting xgold. No, just no. Xgold is something that should be used if you are actually supplying content for your user base. The problem here is, we aren't getting much of anything for what we are already paying.

The fact that not all players have the same opinion about this issue is an important point for the Devs to be aware of as they try to address these problems and create a system that will satisfy the greater part of the community. And that community is not a monolith, which means that the system must be as flexible as possible. There is more than one way to skin a cat, which is especially important to know if the cat has a chainsaw. :P

 

Quite frankly, if it weren't for the legal necessity to ensure that no one under 18 is playing this game, I would say:  Make a basic set of content that is free to play to anyone, and then charge to add premium content. 

 

In any case, there is no "right" answer. The way forward is to find a combination of features that works for as many people as possible.

Ok people, in good faith I am submitting some screenshots of something quite big that I should be finished working on tomorrow.  When I am finished I will submit the screens to the devs and see what they think.  I will have to go back and adjust somethings I am sure because they won't give me any specifications until I send them screens.  I will say that what I will submit to them is a lot bigger than a pose or a couple of masks.

 

Oh and for fun I thought I would share this...I don't know if anyone has come across it.  The identity of the individuals has been blocked for their protection!

I totally agree. We have already achieved a lot in development, but we can do even better. Thank you for your understanding, it is clear that any dev studio has limited resources. We grow and develop together with our project. And of course, help of 3DXChat players is very important to us.

 

Delay in updates is related to the fact that we are preparing a completely new feature for the game. I keep it a secret for a while. In the next game update will also be added: 2 sex poses, 1 clothing, masks for a masquerade party.

I think some of you people just playing too much with a game that there is not that much things to do. (No crafting, farming, etc, just sex and chatting.) So you'll get bored of it very fast, no matter how much new stuff will be added, you are always online and play, and pretty fast you will be bored again. And because you don't really understand how much work it takes to develop your requests, you overestimate the whole thing.

 

For Gizmo: My opinion is, that poses are the most important for everyone, so if i were you, i would search a way to provide one pose each week, and beside that you could work on the other stuff. Maybe I would ask for some talented affect3d artist to play with the animation-skeleton for a few bucks. They already developed a bunch of poses for their games, and have some experience. I know, that animations are the hardest part, but the most important too.

Some of us understand the development process in great detail. (see 1st post of this thread)  However, you make a great point about getting bored too easily.

What about the collars which Solen sent you long ago? Will they also be added soon?

 

It shouldn't be that much work to add them as well. Please Gizmo add them as well.  :wub:

We have all this criticism and all these suggestions because of our love for the game and the community and want both to be at their fullest potential. Some of us are willing to use our skills to help make this place as good as it can be. I suggest you take the opportunity and use us, at our fullest potential.

D1SC0STU,

 

Thank you for your words...and supportive spirit as someone in the development industry so you show a view from end user and back end view.

 

I know before I  recommend anyone to a product I use it myself....going into my second month, I do want to be sure it is something I would recommend to others, I want to know faithfully why I would refer. I think if more players felt more passionate about the produce there would be even more members and less concern with quality, content and ther overall satisfaction.

 

I appreciate the development team reaching out to you.....sometimes to move forward there has to be this lively chatter....I am grateful for your articulate and on point words....

Thank you for your support.  I have talked with Gizmo a couple of times now about the state of their current update cycle as well as a critical bug I was able to track down and duplicate for them.  I am now quite confident that the devs are trying very hard to complete a new feature.  I think when they complete it and announce it to the community, many of us will gain a renewed sense of confidence in this game.
